We've built our products on the idea that 'great inspiration' is everything.

So we found ours in one of the most magnificent seasons in recent Italian history: the 1960’s and the Dolce Vita lifestyle.

During this period a predominant café-society aspired to a glittery world rebuilt upon the ruins of the postwar era, and a key concept of the italian style started to develop: the “sprezzatura”.

The concept bases its roots into the definition of “studied carelessness”.
It is the pursuit of perfection, cultivating, at the same time, the art of giving the impression of not trying at all.

This is the starting point of our journey in the creation of a timeless timepiece. We can’t wait to guide you through it!

Our team has been working for nearly 2 years with experts in different fields from all around the globe to define the “just right” design and product.

Two different models and several styles are available, to satisfy even the most sophisticated users!

We bet you’ll find the right solution fitting your style!

We researched among the world’s top timepiece manufacturers who have been leading the
industry for years working for the high-street brands (with retail prices for over € 1500).

Freeda watches are made with the best components and materials available on the market,
including a stainless steel case, guaranteeing strength and light weight, and with an
anti-scratch-coated sapphire glass.

The products are covered with a one year warranty.

We looked for the "classic" leather patterns used at the time to perfectly match the 60's mood
and enhance the wearing experience.

All the straps are adjustable and made of genuine durable leather obtained through a vegetable
tanning process. This allows the straps to adapt smoothly to the shape of the wrist, turning it
into a unique design accessory the more you use it.

The range is featuring several strap colors and patterns: textured leather, alligator and lizard
print

Freeda watches are featuring an easy and fast switching strap system.

Pull the pin on the spring bar, and easily fit it into the lug hole. Repeat it on both the halves of the strap, and a new watch is ready to fit your wrist!

Customize your watch for the day ahead in just a few seconds, and express your personality.

Fast switching strap system

We are committed to offering you a unique timepiece. This is why every single watch produced
will be numbered with our special "First Edition" serial number.

No watch will be like another!

Our watches are featuring a plain back case that you can customize with a bespoke engraving service.

Whether it is an important date, initials or a short message, make your Freeda watch* even more personal.

*available only on the Plano model. The engraving service must be carried out by a professional and it is not included in the offer.

The traditional sales channel of the luxury watch industry involves several steps and middlemen
in between the producer and the end user customer.

We want to change this outdated approach!

In the era of the social networks, we decided to approach the customer directly, involving him in
the creation of a unique product experience.

Avoiding the middlemen and their margins, we are able to offer a luxury Italian inspired
timepiece, crafted in accordance with the highest quality standard, at a fraction of the retail
price, saving up to 400€.

Inspired by the modern Italian gentleman. Subtle and refined, marks the return of a classic and comforting style playing on the duality of eccentric materials and details from high watchmaking. A companion to wear with "studied casualness", synthesizing a charming taste for tradition.

Sporty elegance supported by powerful and decisive lines, without compromising functionality. SS36GT ensures perfect versatility, from the street to the worldly event, the colors contrast, inspired by Gran Turismo races of the 60’s, ensures excellent readability, paying tribute to its racing soul.

"Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations". This phrase perfectly reflects the approach of Andrea, Freeda Watches founder.

Born and raised in Rome, Sicilian blood running through his veins.

He has literally traveled across 6 continents (excluding Antarctica) as an export manager representing various Italian companies, ranging from truck tires to pet accessories and design
furniture. He developed sales and distribution networks around the globe and took part as a
strategy consultant in e-commerce and IT start-up.

Style enthusiast and passionate about vintage watches, he founded Freeda to share his concept of Italian affordable luxury with the world.

Of course to board on this adventure we needed a great team!

There is nothing better than being involved in a project with people you value. A close-knit group
of professionals in various fields advising with regards to their expertise: from purchasing and
logistic, to design and marketing. We all have experience with product development, and most
importantly working with each other.

Over the last 2 years, and especially the last few months we’ve been working very hard to reach this point, creating something disruptive and new.

We guarantee a full commitment to the project until the last Freeda Watch will be shipped, and received by the last but not least backer.

We’ll make sure everyone will be fully satisfied.

To reach this final goal we need your support! Let’s spread the Freeda Watches word together!

Freeda Watches will be shipped worldwide. All items will be inspected and carefully hand-packed before dispatching. Please note that you may be responsible for any amount charged by the government of your respective country. This includes, and it is not limited to, duties, taxes and any extra fees charged by the courier company.

All our watches are covered by a 1 year International Warranty.

Risks and challenges

Let’s be frank: this is our first experience on Kickstarter! On the other hand, we selected a range of manufacturing partners leading the watch industry since decades. Moreover, a close-knit group of professionals in various fields have been part of the team, advising with regards to their expertise.

We planned carefully every step of this campaign, always considering the worst-case scenario (just in case!). All the potential risks and challenges have been anticipated, to have a solution ready to any need!

Unfortunately, life is made of unforeseen issues. For any of those which might take place, we will always guarantee transparency with our backer community keeping them informed and providing quick solutions.
We have invested into our idea a lot of time and money. So we are determined to make it happen!

The products featured in the pictures of our campaign are the final versions. The samples have been tested already, and the ability of our manufacturer partners to provide the products within the claimed timing are verified.

We thank you in advance for all the support! We can’t wait to see where this goes, together!
